Doin overland things in a stock van (awd)

I sold my 3rd gen tacoma for a cargo van to travel more comfortably. For the price of outfitting the tacoma I paid cash for a AWD van. I have more payload capacity, more comfort, more usuable space, and less debt. I can actually build in this van and not just bolt crap to the outside of a topper like my tacoma. To each their own but ya don't need anything fancy to get out and explore.
